I don't mind supporting these things eventually, but everytime there is scope creep in talking about what I should support, it means I would either have to push back the implementation until I have a lot more bandwidth, or it delays other features if I try to switch to working on it. It if I want to support extracting information for a single song's metadata in an ABC file, that seems straightforward if I just ignore every other song in that file. If I have to start trying to support functionality similar to CSV files where users can pick what songs to extract from the .abc file, that starts adding more and more things I have to work on, and it starts becoming a much larger effort, so I'm less likely to make any changes in the short term. So it's helpful to have these things as two separate conversations - what I should try to support in the short term, what I should aim to support in the long term.
